OK that's what I've been able to find and purchase from iTunes so
far. I did find the David Arkenstone but I didn't like it as much as
others so I didn't add it. Also, the Midnight Sun isn't on Frank's
list but I *swear* I've heard it played on some of the internet Disney
theme park radio stations before, and I really like it.

We are eligible to stay at Shades of Green, and while we love the big
rooms, low price, and location, we have a hard time enjoying it as
much as Disney resorts because they don't play music of any kind in
their public areas. It feels really weird to not be bathed in great
music when you're in the lobby or out by the pool.

Maybe they figure that "Anchors Aweigh" would wear thin after a while? :-)

Seriously, though, that is too bad about the lack of ambient music.
I know how much it adds to the atmosphere of Animal Kingdom Lodge.

Yes, music is definitely a big part of the Disney experience. I am sure
that the Imagineers choose pieces that will evoke certain feelings and
moods to match the venue. Many of the attraction use music to help
build anticipation for the ride, while others just use it as an overall
theme.

LOL! Every now and then, I hear a piece of music that reminds me of
something at WDW. I listen to classical music on public radio all day
in my office, so I do often hear compositions that remind me of Disney.
And yes, I feel like a druggie sometimes in wanting to get me Disney
fix when I hear it!

Just another update, it turns out there are three or four tracks on
that loop that are only available from a commercial music service
called Omnimusic.

Now I guess I have to find someone with the actual files to share,
because they aren't available to individuals to purchase!

Boy is Disney missing the boat on this. I can't imagine how many
copies they could sell off their website of downloadable theme park
tracks.
